Boot for mountain hunting Montana in November

[left hunter]

I’m gonna try to go back in one of the unlimiteds in November if the season stays open after sheep. My primary mountain boots are Hanwag Alaskan GTX and I’m thinking need something with some insulation for November instead.

Any recommendations? I have been looking at the Zamberlan 3031 that have the integrated gaiter. Pretty expensive though and I’m a little worried about the BOA system failing and how you would fix that?

My go to combo for November is our Beartooth 200g and Hunter !! 13" pac boot. For cold and then colder/snowy conditions. The pac boot is unbeatable for warmth. - matt

I use Scarpa Kinesis Pro's (uninsulated) for late season hunting in MT every year, but I am a very active hunter. If you are doing a lot of sitting you will prob want some insulation.

Hunted last week with a NW Wyoming guide that hunts late season mulies, swears by Kenetrek Mountain Extreme, says he gets cold feet in pac boots. Wouldnt want to be walking in pac boots in the terrain we were in.

I personally where the same boots, I just adjust my sock weight and bring a second pair. My feet sweat too much.

The Schnee Beartooth line is hard to beat. Or, use your normal boots and get a set of covers for glassing.

I use my Schnees bear tooth uninsulateds for most of the season out here. Once it gets really cold I use the hunter pack boots.

Thanks for all the responses. Might just run my Hanwags and bring boot blankets. I haven’t been able to find any of these other boots to try within driving distance of southern Indiana
